COIN Trial Summary
This trial will compare two treatments for overweight/obese women with early stage breast cancer and insomnia: one with an insomnia intervention before weight loss, and one with sleep education before weight loss. Outcomes will be measured at various time points.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for overweight or obese female breast cancer survivors, aged 18+, who have insomnia. They must be willing to lose weight and have completed cancer treatments at least 3 months prior. Exclusions include other sleep disorders (except mild apnea), drug abuse, current smokers, or those with unstable psychiatric conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) enhances the effectiveness of a subsequent behavioral weight loss program compared to just receiving sleep education followed by the same weight loss program in women who've had early stage breast cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed, potential side effects may include discomfort from discussing personal issues during CBT-I sessions and typical challenges associated with lifestyle changes such as dieting and increased physical activity.

COIN Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The proposed intervention consists of 6 remotely-delivered sessions; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8, with weeks 3 and 5 being "rest weeks". Session 1 will be 60-90 mins, Session 2 will be ~60 mins, and remaining visits are ~45 mins. The investigators propose a methodological innovation for CBT-I, which involves conducting 15-minute sessions every other month during the BWL intervention. Prior to these maintenance sessions, participants in the CBT-I+BWL group will complete electronic sleep diaries for one week and interventionists will use this information in sessions to sustain and enhance long-term outcomes by using MI to reinforce application of CBT-I session content.
Group II: Sleep Education Control (EDU)Placebo Group1 Intervention
The EDU intervention will parallel the CBT-I intervention in number, format and length of all sessions, including maintenance sessions. It provides basic information about sleep and cancer, widely available to the public. EDU content does not include any individualized behavioral instructions, sleep diary monitoring during the intervention, or behavior change counseling. Content is presented didactically only.
